-
Where is edge infrastructure being implemented?
Edge is used for applications such as smart cities, telemedicine, precision agriculture, advanced driver systems and more. Edge database analytics are used to:
- Monitor industrial equipment and manufacturing processes, including real-time IoT alerts
- Track defects, inefficiencies and production downtime
- Optimize how resources are consumed, such as gasoline, electricity, water, and more.
- Improve safety with real-time visibility into equipment sensors and/or control systems
-
What is the difference between far edge and distributed edge cloud?
Far edge resides at on-premise servers or on user devices. Conversely, distributed edge cloud resides at the content delivery network, network access point and data center colocation level.
